Louisa Guinness Gallery, 2015

Exhibited:
London, Louisa Guinness Gallery, Ron Arad Rocks!, 24th February - 22 April 2016

Ron Arad RA (b.1951) is an artist, architect and designer, highly regarded for pushing boundaries with materials, specifically wood, metal and composites. He was awarded the Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) in recognition of his "sustained excellence in aesthetic and efficient design for industry" in 2002. He was elected as a Royal Academician in 2013, for "his radical re-conception of the form and structure of objects and buildings, large and small."

Arad's Rocks series playfully challenges the viewer's sensory perception. The jewellery presents as shards of glass or crystal forms but is made of silicon. Each piece is unique. The artist's prior work in silicon includes Curtain Call (2011), a suspended curtain of over 5000 silicon rods acting as a canvas for live performance, film and animation at The Roundhouse, London.

Lots 36-42 are from a Private Collection of Artist Jewellery.
